CALVE'S .GREAT" CONCERT Five World-RcnOuned Artists With Tills Great Singer. The famous golden-voiced Calve will ap pear in concert at the Marquam Grand Theater on Monday evening. January 22. No other singer today occupies so high a place in the musical world, and none oth er ha exercised so great a fascination upon the general public. Aside from being one of the greatest artists of the century. Calve has a picturesque person ality and" an individual charm which has made her unique in the admiration be stowed by the general public She Is the most popular singer who ever appeared at the Metropolitan Opera-House in New York, at Covent Garden, London, and at the Grand Opera in Paris. Merc an nouncement that she was to sing one of her favorite roles, such as Carmen or Sapho, or In "Cavallerla Rusticana," was always sufficient to insure the huge audi torium being filled to Its doors. No one stopped to ask who else might bo In the cast. The mere fact that Calve was to sing was sufficient. When she appears here Calve will sing selections from "Carmen" and "Sapho," and the extremely difficult "Bird Song." from Fellcien David's opera. "La Perle de Bresll." These show to fine advantage the wonderful mellowness, richness, bril liance and flexibility of her voice. The prima donna brings a splendid company -with her. Berrlck Von Norden has a sil vers tenor voice of rare sweetness. M. Bouxmann, the famous French basso, has a profundo voice of extraordinary power and surprising quality. Jeanette Vermorel is one of the most talented young vlolln Istes of the day. Besides being an artiste of splendid training and taste, she Is a woman of great beauty. M. Camille De crcus, who plays Calve's piano accompani ments, and M. Louis Fleury. who plays her flute obligati. are musicians of much celebrity in France. Seats are now sell ing at the box office of the theater. What the Bankers Should Do. PORTLAND, Jan. 35.--To the Editor.) Apropos of the discussion of control of state banks by Hon. E. V. Carter In today's Issue of The Orcronlan, and while the eubject is fresh In mind, permit mc to say that. In my opinion, it h -up to the bankers thcmoelrcs to set the ball In motion by the appointment of a committee at their next meeting as suming that they -Rill have another meeting some time during: the "Winter to take up the matter of drafting a bill alone the lines sug gested by Mr. Carter. In some such way a conservative measure can be drafted, one that will work no hardship on bankers and at the same time afford ample protection to the de positors. I am persuaded that a large ma jority .state bankers will favor such meas ure, which can bo better handled by men thoroughly conversant with the business. rather thsn leave It -to Inexperienced legis lators, as some kind of bill will undoubtedly be presented to tbo Lecriclature at ita next regular session. In this way IL B. 73 (the Shelley warehouse bill) was put through the Hue at the 22d regular biennial session without opposition, and throuch the Senate with almost causl unanimity, whereas, had I not conferred with the leading warehousemen and millers be forehand and united all lnterestn, much more opposition would doubtless have been en countered and possibly a bill passed that would hare been far less practical than the present law, which. j far as I have learned, gives universal satisfaction and is a great protection to warehousemen doing; a straight forward, legitimate business, Just as the pro posed banking law will protect honest bank ers, many of whom are now, of their own accord, publishing" statements of their con dition and standing, as are National banks.

Mrs. Thumb has been before the public for a brief period of 4" years, most of the time In company with Tom Thumb, who gained wide re mits hoforo his death a dozen years or more ago. The three little people give a ! clever and pleasing act. Tne "counts burlesque on "II Trovatore" is worth go ing to see of itself. The other numbers of the new programme which was put on yesterday are: Lopez and Lopez, Spanish musicians, whose act is an attractive one: Walters and Shadrick, dancing, talking and singing comedians of more than ordi nary merit; Auer & DcCarzo. in a novelty act. "Pictures In Rags": Master Harold Hoff, who sings an illustrated song pret-. tlly. and a good lot of moving pictures. Same bill all week. 6 Pantagcs. Acrobats in tights are an ordinary sight, but to see eight people In conventional evening dress stroll on a stage and pro ceed to go through remarkable athletic feats it something out of the ordinary. Such an exhibition is given by the Rollo troupe -of society acrobats, which heads the new bill at Pantagee this week. Among the other meritorious features are: D. Adelphla. the cowboy conjurer, whose slelght-of-hand work Is perplexing and clever; John P. Brace and company. In a laughable comedy, "The Tar Box Fam ily"; Ray Ogden and company in a good comedy act, which brought out many rounds of laughter from yesterday's audi ences, and La Borze in a pleasing musical nnt T .on wViltn clrifK n niw Illustrated song effectively, and the blograph shows an interesting 101 01 uiusiraiea pjciurua. including a sensational escape from a Russian prison. The same programme will be offered dally all week. The Star. To sec Tony Ryder's "educated" mon keys at the Star this week makes It eas ier to swallow the Darwinian theory. These monkeys do most everyt"ng but talk. Their athletic stunts are vastly bet ter than the average human expert's work, and demonstrates that a monkey can make a success of athletics, even If not of statesmanship. There Is quite a list of other good vaudeville acts on the new programme. Including Soamon, Ad ams and Rogers, who sing new songs well; Hal DeForest and company In a dramatic sketch", "The Burglar's Christ mas"; Carleton Ostrander, an accom plished performer on the mandolin; Trix edo and Robinson, In an entertaining quick-change character act; W.

CALVIN S. HEILIG, president of the Northwost Theatrical Association, has Just returned from a trip to New York, and he has much to say of Interest re garding theatrical affairs. We arc all Interested in what he is going to offer us at the Marquam during the rest of the season, and we want to know what is to come next year. "New York has had a very prosperous season for the theaters," said Mr. Hellig. "Although there have been several plays that were not received gleefully, the at tendance at the theaters generally has been steadily big. I am speawlng of ac tivity in New York City not on the road or In tl'ie smaller or minor places. "The Hippodrome is the wonder of New York. It is great stupendous the audi ences are colossal at each performance. No city but New York could support such an institution. It is gorgeous, and vastly Interesting. No one goes to New York without seeing it. and New Yorkers are regular attendants. "Fay Templeton, in 'Forty-five Minutes From New York.' at the New Amsterdam Theater, is an instance of what I think the tendency for next year is In the mu sical comedy line. It has a decided plot. It is full of melodies and character work, but it gets away from the grotesque. Mu sical comedy cannot die out In a year. I believe it will be as predominating as ever the coming season, but it will be more rational, more genuine, more artistic loss extravagant, more leaning toward light opera. George Cohan Makes a Hit. "Fay Templeton Is only Just ahead of George Cohan at the good old Grand Opera-House, Twenty-third street and Eighth avenue Cohan's musical comedy. 'Little Johnny Jones' Is turning people away every night. When New Yorkers take up anything they are electrically en ergetic In their patronage I can remind you. - Ethel Barrymore. -with 'Allce-SIt-by-the-Flre, exemplifies the fact that all the Eastern public that happens to be stopping in the metropolis wants to see her. He,r hold upon every one Is unique. "Maude Adams. In Barric's 'Peter Pan.' also is enjoying her perennial popularity. Many say they want her to play an older part (she plays the part of a child in this production), 'but the people flock to see Mil's MOVE Asks Dissolution of Injunction Granted 0. R. & N. TAKES DISPUTE TO COURT Right of Way at Maegly Junction, for Which Both Railroads Arc Contending, Involved in This Action. The contest between the O. R. & N. Co. and the Portland & Seattle Railway Com pany to decide which Is the owner and entitled to possession of the crossing at Maegly Junction will be argued before Judge Frazer Wednesday morning, begin ning at 9:30 o'clock. The matter comes up on a motion to dissolve,the injunction granted by Judge Frazer in favor of the O. R. & N. Co. The motion was filed yesterday by Williams, Wood & Llnthl cum and Charles H. Carey, attorneys for tho Portland & Seattle Company. The Portland Sf. Seattle Railway Com pany also filed an answer and affidavits reciting its side of the controversy. The answer sets forth that the Portland &. Seattle Company on December 16 last ob tained a written agreement from A. H. Maegly, of the College Endowment As sociation, by the terms of which Mr. Maegly agreed to sell the Portland Sz Seattle Company 13.50 acres of his land for right-of-way purposes. Including the crossing now in dispute. The agreement provided that it should be void if not ac cepted within SO days. The agreement was recorded upon the county records and was accepted by the Portland Sz. Seattle Company In writing, December 21, and the company alleges that Maegly then delivered possession of the land. The deed was executed December 23, and Mr. Maegly was paid the balance due, $10.S0). It was alleged that "Mr. Maegly showed the agreements to agents of the O. R. & N. Co., and the O. R. & N. Co. was aware of the contents of the agreement when the company filed the condemnation suit against the College Endowment As sociation. Mr. Maeglys company, on De cember 22. The point at Issue is whether the agreements constituted the purchase and sale between Mr. Maegly and the Portland & Seattle Railway Company or the delivery of the deed on December 23. If tho latter, the condemnation suit of the O. R. & N. Co., commenced on De cember 22. would stop the sale by Mr. Maegly to the rival corporation, and the completion of the condemnation suit on January 9 would give the ground com prising the disputed crossing to the O. R. & N. Co. The answer of the Portland & Seattle Company recites the building by it of the trestle at the crossing, work on which was begun on December 21, the first In junction suit by the O. R. & N. Co., the tearing down of 150 feet of the trestle and tracks by the O. R. & X. Co.'s forces on January 9. and the subsequent injunction suits filed by both companies. It is also alleged that the original arti cles of Incorporation of the O. R. & N. Co. provide for a line from Portland to Hun tington, and that the St. Johns-Troutdalc line will give the O. R. & N. Co. two lines from Portland to Troutdalc It Is fur ther alleged that the O. R. & N. Co. never filed -a copy of the resolutions adopted by the board of directors concerning the con struction of the Pfortland-St. Johfls-Trout-dalc line, as is required by a statute of Oregon. The affidavit of A. H. Maegly tells of the sale to the Portland & Seattle Com pany, and that he entered into negotia tions with this company as far back as October. 1905. It also tells of the agree ments, deal and condemnation by the O. R. & N. Co. of a right of way through lands of Mr. Maegly for which he re ceived $6250. M. E. Thompson makes a similar affidavit, C. M. Levey, president of Uffe Portland & Seattle Company, has subscribed to an affidavit stating agents or employes of hl& company never had any intention of intimidating agents or employes of the O. R. & N. Co. or made any threats. Fred DussaulU foreman of construction men for the Portland &. Seattle Company, has signed a like affidavit. The O. R. & N. Co. kept a large force of men on the disputed ground all Satur day night, evidently expecting a hostile move on the part of Its rival, which did not come. The outlook is for a peaceable solution of the matter in court. INJUNCTION' IS NOW SOUGHT Wallula Pacific Goes to Court Against Xorth-Bank Road. The legal department of tho Wallula Pacific has been busy of late and has filed a petition for an Injunction her. They are pleased, and who should cavil? "The very big thing for next year will undoubtedly be Klaw &. Erlangers 'Prince or India, another huge project, that will outstrip 'Ben Hur at least three miles. In point of spectacular display and sensa tional features. The details are not an nounced, but preparations are going on to make It the biggest production that ever went on tour.

It is maintained by the Gerlingcr road, that the Congressional act of 1873. which provided that a railroad could acquire right of way across Gov ernment land by filing maps and surveys-with the Land Office, and seeking to construct within a specified time thereafter, applies to the survey of the Wallula Pacific extending from Wal lula fur 40 miles towards Portland. The company alleges that articles of Incorporation were filed with the Wash ington Secretary of State in August. Maps and surveys were soon afterward filed -with the Land Office In spite of this, however, the Northern Pacific began to scrip the land at about the same time while the Portland & Seattle began to run surveys and begin con struction work along- the line and over the same survey made by the Wal lula Pacific A petition for injunction was there fore filed in the Federal Court of North Yakima on Saturday, by the at torneys for the Wallula Pacific and January 27 was set as the day when the defendant parties to the rfuit were directed to appear at Spokane and show cause why action should not be taken by the court. This suit is thought by some to be a Harriman move, since It comes so closely upon the obstructive movements at Maeglys Junction on the Peninsula below St. Johns. Harriman officials, however, deny that there Is any con nection between their Interests and the Wallula Pacific RAILROAD ASKS NEW TRIAIi Wants a Rehearing Jn the Damage Case or Charles Obcrg. In the Federal Court yesterday morning- the Northern Pacific attorneys moved for a. new trial In the case of Charles Oberg- against the company, and the motion was set for hearing- on January 22. The case of Oberg against the North ern Pacific has been pending and unset tled for some time Oberg- Is a Portland man who was injured upon the North ern Pacific several years ago when a special train bearing delegates to an Elks convention at Olympla, Wash was wrecked and many persons hurt. The plaintiff sued the Northern Pa cific for $35,300 damages, alleging that the Injuries received made him a nervous and physical -wreck. Upon trial before Judge Bellinger, the Jury grant ed Oberg damages amounting to $10, 000, but no Judgment was taken before the death of the Judge As a result of this the defense has now asked for a new trial upon tech nical grounds, and the matter will be presented before the co"urt on the dato set down. ARTHUR C. NEWILIi BANKRUPT Principal of Rlvervlevv Academy Flies His Petition. A voluntary petition In bankruptcy was filed In the United States District Court yesterday morning by Arthur C. Newlll. principal and proprietor of the Newlll Rlverview Academy. The liabilities are S10.S24.45. and the assets arc $55S2. Mr. Newlll was formerly the principal of the Bishop Scott Academy, and when that institution was closed by the School Board, founded the Rlverview Academy as a preparatory and military school for the training of boys. Tho present term of the school will be finished by the fac ulty without additional cost to the par ents of the boys now attending. Husband Accused of Cruelty. Martha A. Williams, who. several days ago. sued her husband Joshua R. Wil liams for a divorce yesterday filed an amended complaint In the State Circuit Court. She says that Williams has re turned from Panama, and came to her home at 1 o'clock Sunday morning and drove her out in a pelting rain storm, and she was compelled to find shelter with friends. Williams, she avers, was drunk and violent. Mrs. Williams says she owns the house and lot and furniture She has four children by a former marriage She complains that Williams went to Panama over six months ago, and has not provided for her since. She asks that her former name North be restored to her. Will Confer in San Francisco. Francis J. Hency and Judge William B. Gilbert will hold a conference In San Francisco week after next In relation to the land-fraud cases now pending In the United States Court In this city. Owing to the fact that Mr. Hency will be in San Francisco and that Judge Gilbert will leave for San Francisco In a short time to hold a session of the United States Cir cuit Court there. It will be more con venient for the conference to be held in that city than in Portland. At the conclusion of the conference it is expected that Mr. Heney. who is the man most capable of conducting the cases, will be able to make a definite statement of the future land-fraud trials in the Port land court. atrical offerings are attracting the public, unquestionably "Man and Superman" Is the talk of New York today, as It has been for some time past. "In Chicago the New Colonial (old Iro quois) Is now fairly in the lead. It has taken Its place in the foreground of the atrical events In Chicago, and the people have forgotten all about the fire The New Colonial Is absolutely fireproof, and the exit arrangements are so perfect that a catastrophe seems Impossible Calve Arouses Enthusiasm. "Just now I am filled with enthusiasm In expectation of Calve here next Mon day. Just listen to this from the Salt Lake Herald regarding her concert in that city: 'Calve sings at her zenith. Salt Lake City hears a concert which Is an event of a lifetime Her genius Is un rivaled. Concert Is most satisfactory In many years. No other name should be written with hers. Within the last two generations there have been many so pranosj There have been Jenny LInd. Nllsson and Pattl, Eames, Nordlca and Melba. But since man began to express the soul through music there has been but one Calve. Vlelng with the great so pranos In glorious high tones, she leaves them far behind, as she drops into the lower register, deep, sweet, rich and strong. She Is neither soprano nor con tralto. She Is Calve "Isn't that the limit? Well. It is all deserved. And we are going to hear her here , The next mountain peak in my cher ished chain of events In Portland, which I think the people here ought to well like, is the season of grand opera. They are very wise here. They know that Henry W. Savage, the New York mil lionaire manager who sends us this grand opera group that travels to the Coast In a special train of H cars, can. always be depended upon to send along something excellent In every respect. Well, the four performances include Tannhauser. Rlgoletto, 'Faust and 'Lohengrin. and they cansqueexc in 'La Boheme as an extra matinee If the people clamor for it. I think those names coupled with Savage as a guaranty of high classlsm arc enough to hold the pro bono publico con fidence for awhile That sort of music at three-dollar top prices I am proud of, asd I thank you for mentioning It." -A- H. BALLARD. TEXT FROM A LI EVANGELIST 3IARTE ESSAYS TO PROVE EXISTENCE OF HELL. Bases Scrnion on Blackstonc's "Com mentaries" and Uses Scripture Only to Confirm Deductions. Dr. G. W. Martin, of St. Louis, preached to a large congregation at the First Christian Church last night. Every available seat in both auditorium and Sunday school room was taken. "Hell" was his subject. He had advertised for a number of nights that he would prove by pure logic, without a word of Scripture, the existence, character and duration of future punishment, and then corroborate It all by Scripture .His hearers claim that he made good his promise. Instead of taking a text from the Bible. Dr. Martin took one from Blackstone's "Commentaries": "In the fourth or vin dicatory part of law consists the main strength and force of the law." He ar gued that justice was not always meted out here on earth because men are fallible In making, interpreting and executing law. But God never fails. He asserteu that If man gets his full punishment for his sin here he must get his full reward for his virtue here also. But people do not get full punishment here. The worst rescals sometimes live In mansions, while the Innocent suffer. Justice demands that there be a future punishment. Some people say conscience Is hell. The way to get rid of that Is to keep on sin ning till conscience no longer rebukes. Most people are confused on the matter of the duration of future punishment be cause they think the penalty can remove guilt.. But only pardon can do that. The law does not hang a man for his own good, nor to restore the life of his victim. It punishes him to keep him from re peating the offense and to prevent others from committing similar crimes. The thing for man to learn Is that he cannot go to heaven on his merits, but must rely on the merits of Christ. People who complain that everlasting punishment Is too much for the little evil that men do here are perfectly willing to take an eternal heaven for the little good they do here. Tonight Dr. Martin will speak on "Love's Triumphs." STOOL PIGEON CONFESSES Ordered Out of Town, He Says He Works for Detectives. Detectives Kay and Jones, the principal factors in the Richards raid, are in the habit of employing "stool pigeons." as well as the other members of the detec Uve force, if the story of George Avery, a vagrant arrested by Patrolmen Endicott and Galbraith last evening, is to be be lieved.

He further Intimated that he was still "working" for the detectives.
